How long would a sample of 26g of Nickel-63 take to decay down to

1 answer:

4 0

I looked up the half life for nickel-63 and then used the half life formula which is No=Nt*e^(kt) so the final answer is 20000 years for 26g of nickel-63 to decay to 6.5g

Using the following standard reduction potentials, Fe3+(aq) + e- → Fe2+(aq) E° = +0.77 V Ni2+(aq) + 2 e- → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V ca

<u>Answer:</u> The above reaction is non-spontaneous.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2Fe^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}(aq.)+Ni(s)$

Here, nickel is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons and iron is getting oxidized because it is loosing electrons.

We know that:

$E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}=0.77V\\E^o_{(Ni^{2+}/Ni)}=-0.23V$

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.23-0.77=-1.0V$

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

As, the standard electrode potential of the cell is coming out to be negative for the above cell. Thus, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction will become positive making the reaction non-spontaneous.

Hence, the above reaction is non-spontaneous.

5.Hey Order of reaction is :-

Y>Z>X

6.Phosphorus is soft, waxy and reactive. It reacts with moist air and gives out light. It ignites spontaneously at about 350C and that's why it is stored under kerosene to prevent its reaction in the atmosphere.

it can be also stored in sealed bottles..

Answer:

Letter B.

Explanation:

Changing its direction and climbing a steep incline can't be proven only by the graph info. You can see that it's speed isn't constant in the graph.

We have letter B left.
